B. Audiolingual Curriculum
(1975 English Curriculum)
A. Audilingual English Curriculum
Audiolingual English curriculum characterized by the
following features:
1.The goals/objectives of the Curriculum :
- in a short term is to provide students with oral skills (listening and speaking as the main focus and reading and writing as secondary focus)
- in a long term is to master the target language at
the native speaker’s proficiency level
2. Content: a linguistic syllabus consisting of key items of phonology, morphology, and syntax on the target language arranged according to their order of presentation.
The language skills in the order of listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The focus is on oral language (listening and speaking in the early stage; reading and writing are given at the
later stage)
3. Process (learning and teaching activities):
-Dialogues and drills are dominant in classroom
practices. Dialogues serve as a means of contextualizing key structures and illustrate situation in which structures might be used as well as some cultural aspects of the target language. Correct pronunciation, stress, rhythm, and intonation are emphasized.
-After dialogues has been presented and memorized, specific grammatical patterns in the dialogue are practiced using e.g. substitution drills
4. Evaluation : Focused on the mastery of listening and
speaking skills with major emphasis is on grammatical
accuracy (listening and speaking skills mastery as
primary focus and reading and writing skills are
secondary focus)

C. Communicative Curriculum (1994 -2004 Eng Curr)
B. Communicative Curriculum
Communicative curriculum of English is
characterized by the following features:
1.The goals/objectives: Provide students with
communicative competence: the ability to
communicate through both oral and written
medium by considering social-situational
factors (participants, setting, and topic
involved in communication)
(Richards et.al. 2001)
Communicative competence consists of: discourse
competence (as major competence), linguistic
competence, actional competence, sociocultural
competence, and strategic competence ( the last four
competencies regarded as secondary/supporting
competencies)
Other approach characterized this curriculum is literacy
approach. This approach assumes that (naturally) the
acquisition of language gradually develops from oracy
(oral language through listening and speaking) through
literacy ( written language, reading and writing). The
The implication of this belief is that learning of the target
language should begin with oral language in the
beginning level and written language in the later level
In this connection, Wells (1987) purposes four levels of
Literacy-based teaching to be considered, namely:
1.1 Performative level: the ability to read, write and the
ability to listen and speak using the given symbols.
1.2 Functional level: the ability to use language to fulfill
daily needs ( survival purposes). This level is
assumed appropriate for MTs level
1.3 Informational level: the ability to use language to get
(to access) information. This level is assumed suitable
for MA level
1.4 Epistemic level, the ability to use language to express
knowledge in the target language. This level is for
university students
2. Content: From the content side, our English curriculum
adopt actional competencies refer to the ability to
use the four language skills, namely listening, speaking, reading, and writing (as „standard competencies‟) that can be seen in the mastery of both spoken texts (dialogues and monologues) and written texts (monologues).
-The standard competencies are formulated into basic
competencies.
The two types of competencies are known as “content standard” (Standar Isi)
3. Process: types of learning and teaching activities
suggested in this curriculum are:
3.1 Three cycles (stages), known as: Pre-activities,
While-activities, and Post-activities.
3.2 Four- cycles(stages), known as:
-Building knowledge of field
-Modeling of text
-Joint construction of text; and
-Independent construction of text
3.3 Other teaching steps of Text:
The most familiar sequence for teaching involves these steps (though be flexible):
(i) introduce and build a knowledge of the field;
(ii) introduce model (s) of the target genre;
(iii) ‘deconstruct’ the genre, discussing its
elements & their functions;
(iv) write an instance of the genre & discuss;
(v) research & write other examples.
4. Evaluation: The assessment is focused on the mastery
of a set of basic competencies which are formulated
into indicators referring to the mastery of types of both
spoken texts and written texts as indicated in the
content standard.

Dear Granpa and Grandma
Yesterday at my school we had International day. We had performances, food stalls, displays, raffle.Ticket draw and some of us were dressed in constumes.
We started our day off with performances but the one I liked best was the one from fourth grade.
It was about games. The performance I was in was called Labamba.
Straight after our performances we had our lunch.
There were food stalls. They came from Australia, Asian, Arabic, and Greece. There was also a Trash & Treasure stall where they sold toys. The school got these things by
asking the children to bring them in.
After lunch we had a raffle ticket draw. I didn’t win anything but a lot of people did.
Everyone had a job. These people were from sixth grade.
I did my job after I had lunch. My job was to sell International Day Books.
We had displays in the hall.
These displays were good but I didn’t get to see
them.
The displays came from a lot of countries.
Although I didn’t win anything, International Day was
still fun.
Love
from Huy.
